To export it exactly as displayed (like when you print to a virtual printer to generate a PDF) might be tricky, but you can definitely create Excel and I believe Word files without even having Excel or Word installed. If you DO have Excel or Word installed on your server, then you can always use a COM connection to handle this. First, maybe check out the Excel Writer PEAR package. Here's a link to a post I made about it a while ago with instructions on how to install it: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general&m=111409575703230&w=2 Excel Writer uses another PEAR package called OLE which is used to generate older format MS Office files in general. Both can be found at http://pear.php.net Also, try searching the archives, I know this question has been asked many times (even recently) and I'm sure you'll find some good stuff in there. PHP-General archives: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general PHP-Windows archives: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-windows PHP-Databases archives (never know eh?): http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-db And of course, the links to all these can be found on the PHP mailing lists page: http://www.php.net/mailing-lists.php Good luck! -TG = = = Original message = = = Hi!!! Are there any chances that I could export a dynamic created web page into MS Word or Excel? I know this can be done with PDF!! I'm using LAMP!! ----------------------- Miguel Guirao Aguilera Logistica R8 TELCEL Tel.
